Ideas for Adventure Requirements:

1. Choose from the many Tiger Games.
2. Making a game requires an idea, how to win, and rules. Tools for Educators has some game building help. Google has some pics of games people made.
3. Using common equipment, such as football, baseball mitt, or basketball hoop, in a different way can make fun games.
4. It's a good idea to contact the coach beforehand so he/she has time set aside for your visit.
